Crisis Points or Same Stuff Different Day

In an environment where crisis is the order of the day and the Government is the organization with the answers to crisis the items I list below seem nothing more than the standard, ordinary fare.

Maybe, maybe not, but worth consideration all the same.

U.S. now only 2 states away from rewriting Constitution

The Ohio legislature is considering a joint resolution "[a]pplying to the Congress of the United States pursuant to Article V of the United States Constitution to call a constitutional convention for proposing amendments." Should this resolution pass both state houses, only one more state is required before a convention must be called. (Mises)

This started as a conservative idea in the 1980's, most of the states that have passed a resolution calling for this convention in the last 27 are Southern States. The folks behind this had the best of intentions but this was a bad idea from the get-go and now perhaps it could get infinitely worse. From the WND article:

"Don't for one second doubt that delegates to a Con Con wouldn't revise the First Amendment into a government-controlled privilege, replace the 2nd Amendment with a 'collective' right to self-defense, and abolish the 4th, 5th, and 10th Amendments, and the rest of the Bill of Rights," said the warning from the American Policy Institute.

A brief review of the history of the last Constitutional Convention ought to inform anyone that believed they can control the genie once outside of the bottle that this is not the case. Obama might just be the man to lead the discussion of fundamentally changing our Republic and doing away with the nasty trappings of the old republic.

Further, WND also reported Obama believes the Constitution is flawed, because it fails to address wealth redistribution, and he says the Supreme Court should have intervened years ago to accomplish that.

Obama said in a 2001 radio interview the Constitution is flawed in that it does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth.Obama told Chicago's public station WBEZ-FM that "redistributive change" is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.

The Warren court, he said, failed to "break free from the essential constraints" in the U.S. Constitution and launch a major redistribution of wealth. But Obama, then an Illinois state lawmaker, said the legislative branch of government, rather than the courts, probably was the ideal avenue for accomplishing that goal.

"Redistributive Change", a constitutional convention would certainly provide the opportunity to effect such change in words that Old Republic Constitutionalists could no longer dispute.

Then there is this...

WTP Obama Citizenship Challenge or if you like watch the We The People Press Conference.

The honest truth is if people really read, understood and got righteously indigent about the realities the We The People Foundation point out reference a number of issues a real shooting revolution would be well under way, and that I honestly mean. But, revolutions and insurgencies simply do not grow out of simple truth. Only the core, the die-hard, fight over simple truth, the rest fight or not related to economics or safety/comfort.

Nothing will come of this, as many point out the fact that this all may be highly irregular and unconstitutional will not stop the conspiracy of silence and get the questions about Obama's birth answered, and considering the history of irregular and unconstitutional acts we ought to expect no more.

Of course all of this is just "silly Constitutional stuff"...it is all about the economy stupid and there is plenty there to cause a real crisis....
